Pulpit question

Hammer, the oval one is bigger and I was pinched for space so I went back with the round one. Google "chain splice" and learn to tie the thing. Thats what I did and now I don't have the shackle and thimble on the anchor rode. Works great. Here's a pic for ya':

See, noo thimble, no shackle, and goes throught the deck pipe nicely. ;)
 
Use a smaller shackle! Worked great for me!

I want to change the pipe on my boat, CB gave it to mne and I was very happy to get it!

But the cover just sits there with a small chain, its always poping off in ruff water and then rolling around by the tiny little chain, I know that cover is going in at some point!!

I wzant a new one round or oval that has the hinge on it so I no longer have to worry!

;D
 
hammer, if you gonna be divin, i think you'll feel better with a shackle & a thimble. probaly overkill, but its a bummer to come back to the anchor and find a wad of chain.
 
Hammer what you call that post cleat you have?? have been looking for one buit find nothing?

am thinking I need the real name?
 
Thats right Phats, gonna go with a thimble and shackle along with plenty of chain to tie off to on the wrecks.

MJ...post cleat ??? where's it at on my boaty. ???
 
MJ's thinking of a Sampson post, also know as a Bollard cleat. Hammer had posted a picture of one a while back.
 
Pipe...I'm just now catchin' up w/this thread again...re your idea for "anchor retrieval system" ... while yours is DEFINATELY the nicest one I've seen to date and could be used for SO many other purposes (the VERSATILITY is staggering!! :o ) ... my fear is the overall concept would be considered as "public knowledge" by the Patent Office ...but I'll forward your idea to my Patent Atty and get a professional opinion 8) ...
